| - A few months ago, we stumbled across this a great little Italian place, tucked away unassumingly in a strip mall. Having been there three or four times now, this is one of our favorite go-to's for a classic Italian meal! The wait, even on a Saturday night, has never been more than about 15 minutes, and the staff are knowledgeable and quick.
On our last visit, we started with a wonderful appetizer of seared scallops and greens. They were a little on the small side, but delicious! They were cooked perfectly (so tender!) and the sauce that came with them added a great flavor. They also bring focaccia and white bread to your table, paired with a garlic'y butter that isn't overwhelming. For my main meal, I had an awesome orecchiette pasta in red sauce with sausage, and I ate every bite! It had just the right amount of spice, and was cooked in a delicious, creamy marinara. I think that my all-time favorite here is still the seafood pasta, but I was feeling adventurous, and enjoyed trying something new! We shared a good bottle of red wine, and were glad to take it home when we couldn't finish it. (Tip: If you like their wines, the restaurant sells the bottles outside of actually dining with them... then again, I don't know how you could come here and not enjoy the food!)
The place is charming and has a cozy, old-world vibe that makes the already genuine food and service feel even more so. The staff welcomes you warmly, and you'll leave with a full and happy tummy, as one should from a great Italian place!
